Entrapment and detachment of guidewire fractures during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are very rare, but can lead to life-threatening complications such as embolization, thrombus formation, and perforation. Surgical extraction of the remnant fragments is recommended if the percutaneous retrieval is not possible. We present a case of remnant guidewire into the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and aorta that led to acute coronary thrombosis following primary angioplasty. Surgical retrieval was possible only through a left main (LM) approach.

Plague is an infectious disease caused by a Gram-negative bacterium, , and has affected human populations in different pandemics for at least 5000 years. The last plague epidemic in France occurred at the beginning of eighteenth century in Marseille, in southeast France. Marseille is today France's second largest city.

Background: Referred to as the "forgotten chamber," the right ventricle (RV) is now widely acknowledged as a significant factor, particularly in certain cardiovascular pathologies. Despite historically being undervalued in comparison to the left ventricle, the RV function is deemed crucial in determining patient outcomes following mitral valve (MV) surgery. In the context of MV surgery, it is important to note that the RV is highly susceptible to dysfunction before, during, and after the surgical procedure.

Purpose To assess the prognostic implications of cardiac MRI-derived imaging markers in individuals with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Materials and Methods This prospective study (German Clinical Trials Register, DRKS00024479) enrolled individuals with severe AS who underwent cardiac MRI before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) from January 2017 to March 2022. Image analyses included myocardial volumes, cardiac MRI feature tracking-derived left atrial (LA) and right atrial (RA) as well as left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) strain, myocardial T1 mapping, and late gadolinium enhancement analyses.
